However, following epidemiological investigations on 27 May 2015, cases could be traced back to 18 May 2015. Cholera was eventually confirmed on 1 June 2015 in Juba after Vibrio cholerae inaba was isolated from the one of five samples tested in the National Public Health Laboratory. Since 6 June 2015, sustained and consistently increasing community transmission was established in Juba with increasingly more suspect cases reported outside UN House PoC. There are four transmission peaks with the initial peak of 15 cases occurring on 13 June 2015 while the subsequent and higher peaks occurred on 20 June, and 26 June before reaching the second highest peak on 28 June. Since then, successively shorter transmission peaks were registered. This trend was largely driven by sustained community transmission in Juba, Northern Bari, Rejaf, Munuki, and Kator Payams (Annex 2). On 19 July 2015, a total of 2 61 new cases in Juba County were linked to a funeral in Atlabara B, thus resulting into the highest peak during the outbreak.
